For V we have:
C'est La Vie:
exclamation - used to express that you have accepted or resigned yourself to a situation in life which is difficult or unpleasant, a bit like "oh well".
origin - French and literally translated as "that's life"
Also:
c'est la vie - a well-used phrase in songs. I counted over 10 albums and 40 singles which have had this phrase as their title - and I only recognise one of them by Robbie Neville back in 1986.
I kept with a French connection so today's charts include:
C'est La Vie (can't find the maker)
Paris Skyline by ZGCrossstitchpattern (etsy)
Douce France by Luc Creations
My personal Vs include:
vegetarian - I have been a vegetarian for 28 years. Heather joined me a few years ago but Toby and hubby remain carnivores.
vertically challenged - I come in somewhere around the 5 foot, 1.5 meter mark and actually like this phrase. It brings a smile to people's faces when I say I'm vertically challenged rather than short!
volatile - at least that's what my family tells me my temper is like! Only sometimes I think!
I had to really shoehorn in a V finish today so am showing two very small projects!
After the Bath and Sparrow by Mouseloft
*Shock horror* I don't know when I actually stitched these! I'm guessing around 10 years ago. They're so cute and show what can be achieved with just a few stitches.I hadn't realised the sparrows were the same shape until I put them side-by-side!
A real groan of a W tomorrow.

Your very small finishes are so cute!!

Getting excited to see your finished alphabet Rachel. Your little finishes are adorable.

Beautiful chart choices and interesting V info too. Very cute smalls!
What a great post, Rachel. And so full of French delight. But you shouldn't have shown this absolutely beautiful design Douce France I fell in love with immediately. I would love to stitch it right away but it's out of reach, price wise. C'est la vie.
Your very small projects are so sweet.
Those sparrows are very cute!! :) it is the back stitching that can make anything out of blob of colorful stitching.
I find that there are many things I share with you. I am vegetarian and 5 ft too. Anyways, it is very common to come across vegetarians in India but yours came as a surprise :)
After reading Brigitte's comment I searched for the Douce France kit and could not believe the price! Glad I wasn't tempted!
Your little sparrows are so cute.
My cousin and I were just talking about baby carriers and one style I have is a ring sling wrap and I ordered mine with extra fabric so my hubby could use it and I could use the extra fabric as a nursing cover and she replied, "Well, we're both a bit vertically challenged here so I don't think that'll be necessary!" and I laughed out loud haha It is a very good phrase! I'm 5' 7" so above average for a girl ;o)
Nice French feel to the blog today!
I'm afraid I'm a carnivore too. I don't like vegetables and I have a cheese intolerance so I'd live on toast and cake LOL
